Every broker/dealerdescribes itself as “advisor centric.” It has, in fact, become a cliché. If you ask a brokerage executive to explain what makes his firm different, he will say that he views his affiliated FA as a “client.” But, in the real world, how well do IBDs treat their FA “clients?”

For many years,WealthManagement.com and REP. have surveyed wirehouse advisors asking them to rank their firms in several areas, including support, management and technology, among other things. For those of you affiliated with an IBD, it is now your turn.
